CORT Opens LaVergne Furniture Showroom & Clearance Center

LAVERGNE, TN (June 15, 2011) CORT, a Berkshire Hathaway company and the only national furniture rental provider, announces that its Nashville rental showroom, clearance center, warehouse, and district office has recently moved to Lavergne, Tenn. The new facility at 280 Industrial Boulevard features a 32,000 square-foot rental showroom, furniture clearance center, and distribution center.

“Expanding our presence to the Lavergne area has allowed us to better serve our clients as part of our ongoing commitment to excellent customer service,” said James Dean, CORT’s district general manager. “Our customers can count on our stores and showrooms as a reliable resource for all of their furnishing and accessory needs.”

As Nashville & LaVergne’s leading furniture rental provider, CORT offers high-quality furniture at affordable prices. The showroom and clearance center opened May 9 with store hours Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

 

CORT has led the business of renting furniture and accessories for the past 40 years – what is called the “rent-to-rent” segment of the industry, as opposed to “rent-to-own” businesses, for the past 40 years, providing furniture rental for customers who want the convenience and flexibility of rental furniture, including delivery within 48 hours and pick-up after use.

 

In addition to customers with a temporary need for furniture, such as those relocating for a job or working on temporary assignment, or hosting a special event such as a wedding or corporate meeting, there are also many reasons why companies with a long-term need for furniture choose to rent furniture. For example, rental provides the flexibility to adjust furniture inventory quickly based on business needs, and avoiding operational costs of storage, maintenance, repair and replacement.

CORT also supports businesses and relocating employees to make transitions seamless and worry-free. CORT has a broad range of relocation and destination services, including local market touring services and an online apartment search service, www.ApartmentSearch.com.

For the past 40 years, CORT has been a leading provider in rental furniture and has provided services to more than 80 percent of the Fortune 500 companies and more than 75 federal government agencies. CORT is a Berkshire Hathaway company and has offices in every major U.S. market and a global furniture rental network of affiliates in more than 50 countries.
